Holmfirth Office

A commanding period residence of great character, ready to occupy. Tucked away from main roads, with no passing traffic and in approaching half an acre of its own grounds. With an abundance of natural light flooding the spacious, high ceiling rooms and highlighting the early Victorian charm.

As our photographs reveal, Wheatfield House is ready to occupy having being maintained to a high standard over the decades by the current owners but also presents a blank canvas to put one's own preferred stamp onto the property internally. A great opportunity exists to convert the basement level into high quality living space, given the modest natural light it benefits from in addition to having large rooms with good head height and central heating. This is in addition, subject to planning, to being able to add a tasteful Orangery to the southern elevation of the property. The grounds to this magnificent home benefit from some essential features, being mostly flat, fully enclosed, private with mature bushes and trees whilst attracting the sun all day long.'Agent's Note: November, 2018 - Newly installed Viessman System Boiler as well as recent electrical upgrade.'
